We invite you to watch the play “Three Loves” – this is a theatrical tribute to Lesya Ukrainka, a woman who became a symbol of strength, talent, and indomitable spirit. And she found great inspiration for this precisely in love. This is exactly what the play “Three Loves” will tell about.

A story about feelings that inspired Lesya Ukrainka

The play “Three Loves” – is a poetic and very personal story about Lesya Ukrainka, one of the most outstanding figures of our history and culture. The premiere of the production took place on February 26, 2021, and was dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Lesya Ukrainka's birth and the 80th anniversary of the awarding of the NADT honorary name of Lesya Ukrainka.

This is not a biographical chronicle, but an attempt to look into the most subtle and least studied dimension of the poetess’s life – her love, experiences, and inner world. The play “Three Loves” reveals the lyrical relationships of the poetess with the men who left a mark on her fate: Maksym Slavynskyi, Nestor Gambarashvili, Serhiy Merzhynskyi, and Klyment Kvitka. Each of these stories – is a separate facet of her soul, different experiences of love: inspiration, pain, hope, loss, and acceptance. Through these relationships, the audience sees not only the brilliant writer but above all a living person – a woman who knew how to love deeply, sincerely, and unconditionally.

Three loves of a great woman

The play features genuine poems and letters of Lesya Ukrainka performed by young actors. It is through them that her true voice – honest, passionate, tender, and at the same time strong is heard. The finale of the play is one of the most famous works of the poetess “No, I will laugh through tears”, which sounds like a life manifesto of Lesya Ukrainka herself. And it sounds not only as a summary of her love stories but of the entire life path – of struggle, pain, strength of spirit, and unbreakable faith in life.
